Criminal Lawyer Reacts to LA Trooper Finds a Body in the Trunk 

I kept saying call for back up. I don't know what took him so long.

I agree! How refreshing to watch a cop not immediately pull out his gun and treats this young man cautiously and safely for everyone.☮️💙💜❤️

That’s usually the case. What you see is the exception that makes news.

He was most likely afraid He could be called a racist and jailed if something happed. He'll get shoot one day because He is not carful.

The only issue I have is not hand cuffing him sooner. That cop could have gotten himself killed.

well he figures he should get rid of the body asap so he has a right to speed without interference /s

😂😂🤣❤️

😂😂

That's cause you have a brain

@@Alan-ii9tewell a person with a brain probably wouldn’t be driving around with a body in their trunk in the first place but yeah

This officer literally did half of their job for them! Whichever detective got this case should buy this officer dinner or something! 😂

No... He planted the body there. Wow just wooooow.

No, not likely, he definitely lied about speeding. He probably was doing 56 MPH.

@@heynow01 he's *definitely* lying because the dude was *probably* doing 56? Okay buddy

He probably could have been more careful with the suspect as far as officer safety, but I think since the kid was staying so calm the officer was trying NOT to escalate the situation unnecessarily.

MOST humans have that sense, too mad most ignore it.

Absolutely agreed!!

This was far from Spidey senses, a piano of suspicion was practically falling on his head!!

For real , what a great officer , many should take lessons on how to get to the truth and not break any rules , very thorough and straight up.

Gut feelings are not grounds for articulated suspicion

@@terryarmbruster9719 You've never had intuition or a strange funny feeling that something isn't right, did you? It's a hell of a feeling. Police, Medical, and a few other jobs require to live by that feeling to make themselves useful. It's a protective instinct.

​@@terryarmbruster9719good thing he had more than just intuition and gut feeling

​​@@terryarmbruster9719It's called implicit learning. With the amount of experience this officer has. It is absolutely grounds for further inquiry.

You say cop, I have another word I like to use for his kind… 🐖🐷

🤦‍♂ Indeed. The one rule that I never fail to remember. 🤣

​@@dcallan812Who doesn't obey every traffic rule when you have a body in the trunk? Sheesh. 😄

But to live outside the law, you must be honest. -- Bob Dylan

​@@EmeraldViewbreak one law at a time. Never more

All good advice. It always blows my mind when I see someone get pulled over for speeding when they’re trafficking drugs I can’t even imagine having a body in the trunk! Wear your damn seatbelt make sure your DL and registration is all up to date and good, and don’t break any traffic laws!! Is that really so hard to do when the outcome of a routine traffic stop could be 15+ years imprisonment

Sociopaths have very low levels of anxiety, if any. They can stay calm in situations like this.

Being high as a kite probably helped.

The only thing that wasn't really common sense from him was that he choose not to put the guy in cuffs and made him hang out in front of his car while he was searching it. He could of booked it when he was only being watched over by one guy who isn't as fit as him, or decided that he isn't going to jail and tried fighting the cops.

​@@Algebruh2407SAFETY 1ST ALWAYS. .

@@Algebruh2407Well, if you don’t expect to find more than a bit of weed you probably also don’t expect the person to abandon their car and run or shoot you. In hindsight it’s easy to say he should’ve cuffed him straight away.

I came here after watching the original video and I thought the same thing. Because of the description of the video. I was shocked to see how calm the kid was from the beginning. Then after watching it all play out, the only thing that comes to mind is that he wanted to be caught. He was done. Probably been driving around trying to figure what to do and when he saw those flashing lights, he just gave up. He did lie but he didn't try too hard to get out of anything. He knew the officer was going to find out where he lived. And how he broke down when they asked what happened, that's relief leaving his body that it's all over. JMO

🤟

It was his dads car they said. “The owners son” but agreed. Very tragic 😔

Yes, it was tragic and condolences to the family and friends.

I believe it was his parents car. But nonetheless it is horrible what happened to him

​@@nikkis7375the car was in his mom's name and she's the one who reported him missing 😞

Maybe so, but it actually seems like he wasn’t in to it, for whatever reason. Maybe he was going on break in 20 minutes. He just has excellent observation skills, and couldn’t ignore them.

He wanted to make sure he dotted the is and crossed the ts before going further.

Yeah, I thing he had a strong gut feeling that there was more than weed or an unlicensed driver. Didn't he say at one point that "something just doesn't feel right" or something?

I am reaaly mad , that cops must do such much paperwork nowaday, to save a person ,may by, from kidnapp in a trunk!😢😢😢 A rotten lawyer get Millionen of compensationmoney for the suspect and for himself !! 😢😢😢 The cop lose his job !

I agree, high IQ move there, he stayed calm, he knew he had the guy and the car pulled over so it didn't matter how long it took to get it straight it's worth it compared to the cost of what happens if it goes wrong. Excellent.

I was thinking the same thing. You know that fucked with him hard when he found out

I didn’t think about that :(

Well it’s better than him seeing it!! I would just hope he’s prosecuted to the fullest extent overall

You ever think that guy was just a 2nd party/car that followed him to make sure the body gets dumped. Maybe they had a backup follow to make sure everything went smooth or if anything went wrong i.e. getting pulled over with a body

@@eastbayarea864 Wow thats deep, spooky even.

Yep, that was what I was thinking about. In certain situations you are prepared for death (as much as you can be), but can’t imagine the shock when your body and mind aren’t prepared at all and you suddenly find a body

I’m going to a counselor at my university for it, but since you’re more familiar seeing it, do you have any advice for someone with a fear of aging and death? I’m in my early 20s and It started up last week and I haven’t been able to shake it.

@@StarfayeArt I know I’m not the one you asked, but I have a background in psychology so I just wanna give my 2 cents! Usually when there’s a fear of something, there’s a deeper meaning. I.e fear of vomit can be a fear of losing control. Or a fear of heights can be biological. That’s the rational part, trying to see what you fear specifically and why. Then there is coping. Seeing what triggers any anxious thoughts. Giving yourself exposure and not completely avoiding it at all costs, because that will make the fear bigger over time. (By avoiding you tell yourself that it IS scary, you SHOULD be scared and you will get more scared). Without knowing much context about you, I can not give any reaally helpful advice, but the biggest component I think, would be acceptance. Accepting and rationalizing death and aging as a normal component to life. Like it would be a mathematical problem. “2+2=4” and people age and pass away. Then there are the normal coping mechanisms for when you feel a panic attack or anxiety attack: breathing, mindfulness, asmr, taking a walk, doing something that makes you happy. You can rewire your brain into making it less and less scary over time. You’re making the neural path weaker by associating the moment of fear, by doing something that calms the body+mind. This is not something that will go away in a day, it takes practice. Best of luck to you and if you have any questions about what I wrote, feel free to ask (:

​@@StarfayeArtThat kind of fear is very common and can come up at different times in life, sometimes you need to just go out and do stuff you enjoy, remember that we are all in the same boat and it's ok to feel fear

​@@ethanbrock5453yes

Sonic will do that to ya! My excitement over DD Iced Coffee got me once.

​@@jeffrey.a.hanson😂Understandable👌🏽

why do you keep getting pulled over!? could have had a body in the trunk all 3 times and he let you go! lol

@@GuidoLuzzi I was speeding a little, but had hot Sonic to eat! Thankfully the deputy understood my plight.

So he's a good cop because he let you go? 🙄 Maybe he should've given you a ticket so you stop speeding...

That’s just what I was thinking!

Probably thought he could walk if he played it cool

Right!?

@@brendonspeech4115 my guess is he's hoping they take him to jail and tow the car, but he doesn't know they have to inventory everything, so he's assuming he'll be out in a day or two and can get the car out before it starts to smell

A lot of ghetto kids literally don't know how to run. I was told that by a black lady coach

Im sure he meant he actually hit him and not shot, it wud be a bit weird saying I just hit him if he meant shot him

it is a sick camaro though

@@DJCrisisUKthe interrogation is on RU-vid I believe he admits to shooting him in it

@@Jtoe1985 have u got a link or full name of this guy im interested in what happened

​​@@DJCrisisUKru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zzcg6HByQEg.html&feature=share

lol he didn't give him the benefit of any doubt. he was being arrested no matter what as stated by the criminal defense attorney in this video about 50 times!

Really? I don't know why everybody is saying this. Ultimately I think that this could have turned out very tragic for this police officer. His guardian Angel must be doing overtime looking out for him. This seemed to me to be an absolute recipe for disaster. I hope this is not taught as a way to do things in any Police academy. Why on Earth would you turn your back on a potential suspect whom you just pulled over for speeding they have no driver's license they smell like marijuana they've admitted to having drugs in the car they've admitted that it is not their vehicle they don't know their address or they won't tell you their address and now you find bullet holes in car. And somehow you think that this cop is doing his job well. I hope he gets reprimanded for not immediately putting this kid in handcuffs searching him and calling for backup.

@@KMF3shot with what you clown? The guy had no clown and his back was never turned

@@cococock2418 go back and watch the video again he turned his back on the suspect multiple times.

​@@GuidoLuzziyeah, because he knows that there's a body in the trunk. Not a wonder that he can predict that the dude will be arrested.

And with fewer than three bullet holes in their cars.

Probably very few but still far more than there should be.

This is quite common actually among a certain demographic

@diapersFTMFW11 That's enough of that.

@@kingayy9267 Well he is statistically correct... Numbers don't lie especially when they're posted by the government and the police. Data is not racist

Makes you wonder how many lives could be saved if everyone didn't have guns.

😢 yes sady

Its Blicky Bruce to you

No it just because he is high.

I've seen three deceased people in my life right after they passed That sticks with you , I can't understand why anyone would take a life just to get a car He ruined the victim's family's life over being a petty shit

​@@SourStrawberrysok detective

@@Farce13 I don't have to be a detective to see that, smart a.s. Just have to have basic common sense. But apparently some people don't have common sense.

@@Chuck_EL I am pretty sure that isn't what happened at all. If it was the car they wanted they wouldn't he shooting at the car. Clearly this was come beef they had. He even said he wasn't the one who shot him. He just hit him, he said. So likely there was a fight or altercation, he tried to run away, and they shot at his vehicle and he didn't survive. He was likely trying to remove the evidence. If they simply just wanted the car they putting him in the trunk of it and driving around with the license plate still on it. He clearly knew the guy when he confirmed his name so this wasn't some robbery.

Bull-shit lmfao. They’ll fly 40 above fhe speed limit on a flooding highway. God damn they do not give a shit as long as they can send someone to the farm.

Absolutely. Some of the stuff my buddy tells me, who works patrol in the most dangerous parts of Little Rock…damn. Major respect for those able to put up with that and remain calm and professional like this guy

One would imagine he will feel the stress of this for every traffic stop from here on out. Given how he conducted himself they really should consider giving him the opportunity to get of the road and work in investigations.

I don’t feel bad for him at all. That’s what he signed up for. Im sure the overpaid salary on the taxpayers dime is more than enough for him to get over it.

@@macysondheim Because as we all know, people making 60k a year never get traumatized. Such a thoughtful and humane comment.

@@Iridyon_M Exactly. His sob story is ain’t gonna get no sympathy from me

😢😮😢 oh my... I'm sorry you witnessed the aftermath of that.

That's not his first time. No way

I doubt a person would ever get used to seeing a dead person. I know that I wouldn't.

Y’all desperately need some criminal Justice reform down there. Not quite as bad as Mississippi, but any state that doles out life sentences for being caught three times with a plant indigenous to North America is about as antiquated as dry towns.

Kid didn't even think to toss out the joint

Same. I even check the brake lights before i hit the road.

Good tips. 😂

I make sure that all my blinkers work before leaving, too. Can't be too careful!

i think it was more of just disassociating, sort of like when you stare off into the distance and you just kind of glaze over. from the moment the cop pulled him over I'm sure he realized he was completely fucked, his life was probably flashing before his eyes. honestly , i don't think his reaction and his devoidness are too out of the realm of what would be an acceptable response. fight, flight, freeze or fawn; he clearly froze.

My thoughts. This young man is ice cold. So sad for victims family.

He’s prob on something that keeps him calm

@@emotionalsupportpaintbrush I didn’t even think of this! You have a solid point. Maybe

I'm so with you girl🤗 it's an uneasy feeling that's just absurd,cause you know you didn't & don't do sh*t! I can just imagine if i was this dude,my heart would've Stopped & i would've Dropped Down Dead!!! 🙃😨🙈

W mans

Dang! That's nice ❤

👍🏻🇺🇲

So sweet 😊

Yes! Hopefully they use this video for training.

And horrifying- never would have imagined it would go that way

I watched the whole uncut version before this video came out and it’s over an hour long and I just couldn’t stop watching even knowing what the ending is

aggressive shuts down cooperation, and it escalates the scene. It's remarkable how non confrontational the kid was given his circumstance, but you gotta admit, he wasn't acting aggressively. If you think someone just killed a man, and they're not acting aggressively towards you, are you gonna be the one who escalates? I wouldn't..

​@@urbanweekendwarrior7238The "kid" ended his friend for a car, or course he's chill.

It’s old school investigative work. The kid is going to do all of the hard work here.

7:14 “is anybody with ya” Suspect: …points to trunk… “nah, just me.”

​@@jesd.5745Yo, I picked up on that too! 😳

The scary thing is, depending on where you live, the statistics only go up.

I’ve often wondered how many times throughout my life I’ve walked past a murderer

@@stevescott3735 0.35% of people in America are in prison and it's over 1.3 million. America's population is 326 million. You guys cling too much to negativity which is normal. I'm pretty pessimistic but I don't wonder about such things because it makes no sense to do so logically or emotionally. More than likely you've never walked past a murderer. The likelihood does increase in some places, but it's still not as likely as you would think it is. I actually know a murderer, he's in jail, a family friend. Shot 2 guys over a drug beef, one died and the other fled and told police what happened. He's been in jail since like 2003, got 25 to life, but I'm from the projects in New York. Still not that many people killing people there, it's like less than 1% of folks doing all the crime in each neighborhood, and the neighborhoods are big.

Suggest the channel on other lawyer/Leo videos.

please don't leave the safety of the US, yall gon die ith these "instincts".

Yes, I would have handcuffed the guy and put him sitting in the Police car.The Cop Is wasting time.

Also we can witness how complicated the law and Police officer's job Is!

The Cop went by the book so he made no mistakes!

@@carmeldelaney1086 if he had the kid in the car, he kid would have heard the calls he made and all the investigation he was doing. I think bruce rivers was right in saying he doesn't want the kid to listen in on the conversation.

I hope they cover that too!! Do you have a link to the interview? I would like to see it

Same for the interview.

@@draconus15 Yes that was a very interesting interview for sure!

I was thinking about how I'd like to see the interrogation for this while watching

@@Farce13 Yes I hope Bruce gets a chance to cover it I'm sure Michael can find the interrogation It is available here on RU-vid. I love when Bruce covers interrogations!

Ikr, that was day one of henchman 101. These youngins be slacking lol

Exactly. If you feel like speeding, just leave the corpse at home and buy some febreeze.

@@Time_Is_Left 😆 back in the 70's we didn't ride around all willy nilly with them either, we'd go straight to the landfill!

@@sophiophile 😆 🤣 Febreeze!!!

@AmethystJonesOpinions it's the only way to felony.

He did approach it with caution at first, taking cover behind his door.

Yep. I was waiting for it to go bad.

You were thinking exactly what I was thinking. The cop turned his back to Micheal quite a few times. I'm surprised he didn't search him sooner or at least pat him down.

Troopers cover a very wide area and only have several officers in a region during shift. They usually get assist from neighboring agencies. At least that’s what we do in my area.

Mike's in the trunk..

I know, they're ruthless. You're minding your own business. Smoking some weed, and all of a sudden they're asking you about the dead body in your trunk. 🤣🤣

Well, it started out as a simple speeding ticket. And the kid remained relatively calm, so the cop didn't really get any immediate "vibes." I do agree though. Should have been detained and cuffed after he "didn't know" his own address, that's what sent flags up for me.

@@shawndashno6022 He should’ve been detained as soon as he admitted to not having a license. Better safe than sorry and in this case, the officer could’ve easily been sorry…

well he's a kid and he is scared. he knows he shouldn't speed but he wants to get rid of the body as quickly as possible. I'm sure the fear was overwhelming
